This page will mean most to readers of the Marquetarian magazine. It shows the progression of a very sorry looking photo of a first world war soldier and his wife on the eve of his embarkation to the battlefields of Ypres in France. The photo, as you will see, was not only cleaned up, it was coloured as well. We hope you like the transformation.
If you wish to find out how it was all done you will have to join the Marquetry Society and read the article in the Marquetarian magazine, I'm afraid there is no other way!!
(Tee hee, little rascal ain't I !!!)
